Celebrity Parents Supermodel Helena Christensen talks about son Mingus By Staff Author Published on May 11, 2008 09:22AM EDT Danish-born supermodel Helena Christensen, 39, is a model mom to son Mingus, 8 ½, who is mostly into Pokemon these days. He’s totally absorbed. He doesn’t talk about anything else. Helena thanks her Peruvian mother for making her a good chef, but also knows what other dishes Mingus likes. I cook almost every day. My mother, who is from Peru, has taught me a lot of great dishes. When mother’s here, I get it for free. I use my free card. [But they] like to get banana pudding from Magnolia Bakery. Mingus’ dad is actor Norman Reedus, 39. Source: OK! Magazine; Photo by BauerGriffinOnline.com Thanks to CBB reader Valerie.
